rails-template

A Rails template that includes rspec, autotest, exceptional, haml, compass, and more.

Some views, stylesheets, and helper functions were forked from https://github.com/sporkd/compass-html5-boilerplate.

Fork this project so you can personalize it

Then, clone the fork to your development machine.

git clone https://github.com/your-username/rails-template

To create a new project with your template, run:

rails new app-name -d mysql -m /path/to/rails-template/base.rb

How it works

After a standard Rails 3 project is created, base.rb is executed.

All files in the template directory that match *.* are copied into the new project, overwriting original files when conflicts occur.
